Answer: Bug

An error in computer data is called Bug.

A software bug is an error, flaw, failure or fault in a computer program or system that causes it to produce an incorrect or unexpected result, or to behave in unintended ways. The process of fixing bugs is termed "debugging" and often uses formal techniques or tools to pinpoint bugs, and since the 1950s, some computer systems have been designed to also deter, detect or auto-correct various computer bugs during operations.

In computer technology, a bug is a coding error in a computer program.

What is the difference between bug error and defect?

A bug is a fault in a program which causes it to behave abruptly. Bugs are usually found either during unit testing done by the developer or module testing by testers. A defect is found when the application does not conform to the requirement specification. A defect can also be found when the client or user is testing.
